I followed the Arch beginner's wiki to install on VMWare player (host is Windows 7) Arch without x-server and I would like to know how I can change the resolution of what I think is called the TTY to make the VMWare window fit better on my desktop. Currently it takes about 80% of my 1600x900 resolution. I'd like for it to look like a normal open console window.

Edit: After thinking some more, I've realized that with VMware you're likely not using GRUB. I think this reply to the aforementioned post in the Arch forums may be just what you need. It involves downloading a package with pacman and changing some kernel settings. (original link to GRUB solution removed due to reputation link limit)
